To get the word out about these exciting developments, Engheta and Ziolkowski organized special sessions associated with metamaterials at the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC/URSI National Radio Science Meeting, San Antonio, Texas, June, 2002. They solicited contributors there and issued a call for papers as the guest editors for the first IEEE special issue on metamaterials. This issue, which was sponsored by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation (AP) Society, was published in October 2003 [86]. A second special issue was published in April 2005 with Itoh and Oliner as the Guest Editors [87] and was sponsored by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques (MTT) society.

N2 - Metamaterials are artificial materials formed by embedding highly subwavelength inclusions in a host medium, which yield homogenized permittivity and permeability values. By design they offer the promise of exotic physics responses not generally available with naturally occurring materials, as well as the ability to tailor their properties to specific applications. The initial years of discovery emphasized confirming many of their exotic properties and exploring their actual potential for science and engineering applications. These seed efforts have born the sweet fruit enjoyed by the current generation of metamaterials scientists and engineers. This review will emphasize the initial investigative forays in the USA that supported and encouraged the development of the metamaterials era and the subsequent recognition that they do have significant advantages for practical applications.
